So like a lemming I went to the SF Lush store on Thursday. I gotta say, the salesgirl pretty much ignored me then when I was nosing around the display of skin care, and all she pointed out were the $20 mini face kits. Methinks I'll go back again and hopefully get a better salesperson who can explain things and give samples. I have it on good authority from one of my friend in the bay area, that the lush that is not downtown is by far the superior of the two. If you haven't checked that one out, I would.

The new Union Square store in NYC is very nice. India is being a SUPER sales person! Friendly and NOT pushy. I AM friendly and not pushy! I'll also squeal like 12 year old girl at a boy band concert and jump up and down smack in the middle of the store when another Greecie walks in! I mugged Kore today! It was so awesome to see you, sweets! And "twisted her arm" - bah! Can't twist the arm of an addict, folks! You shoulda SEEN the haul! She did very well! As did I! OMG, I put my employee discount into effect today, plus everyone got tons of samples! Today, our manager gave us this cute little bag of "Bath Bomb Bits" - just little bits of bath bombs, like fizzy confetti! We also got samples of Big, Jungle, Trichomania, and even though I already have 'em, CSS and American Cream ( last week for training, we all got full sized masks - I got Ayesha). Then, with my first purchase of my employee discount, I got a truckload of stuff! I got a Karma bath soap, a jar of Ultralight, a bottle of Euroma Toner water, a Karma Komba shampoo bar, a Godiva shampoo bar, another slab of Jungle, and a Buffy! So it was a wonderful day, we were really busy, and we did really well for sales. I mean, keep in mind - not alot of people know we're there yet. Most folks were walking in asking how long we'd been there, not knowing that today was our first day. Judging by the sales, we're going to absolutely kick ass once word gets around that we're there! I'm actually not overly tired from working the weekend - I feel pretty good. The only thing that is hurting me badly are my feet, but keep in mind that both days I was wearing Pumas ( which have no support, really) and thinner socks. I think this week, I'm going to go out and buy some really great, supportive REAL athletic sneakers and thicker gym socks, and probably some of those awesome gel insoles. And then with my next employee purchase, it's gonna be aaalll about the Volcano Foot Mask and either the Pied de Pepper Foot Cream or the Fair Trade Foot cream ( Brookie, do you use either one? Which one helps your feet more?). Then I should be totally good to go once I get my feet in the proper comfort zone. The hardwood floors are tough on the tootsies!

India, from my days of waitressing I can tell you that the Doctor Scholl's massaging gel inserts are the best. I preferred the ones for athletics myself.
Question, I just got some new blonde highlights put into my pixie cut to show off the texture (I can be such a girl sometime), I'm thinking blonde might be too much for everyday--so any suggestions for a good moisturizing shampoo that won't weigh down my hair too much? I'm not a fan of the scent of CSS.
I went pretty short with the cut today, but the combination of the working out and Lush has made my skin look so good that I want to show it off.

Oooh, thanks for the tip, kateln! I'll look for the athletic gel insoles when I get the sneaks and socks! How about Trichomania for softness? I haven't used my sample yet, but that's supposed to be a good moisturizing one. Godiva shampoo too! I'll tell you - I just dragged out my mopping bucket from under the sink, took out all the house cleaning products, filled it up with very warm water, dumped in my bits of bath bombs, and had a great fizzy foot soak! It felt great!

I am dumb, because my current job has me standing all the time (which is KILLING my back), and although I have been complaining to LaconicDude about how my feet hurt, I totally forgot about my Lush stash! I have some Fair Trade lotion, but it's a bit, uh, expired... but only by a few months. I used it a couple of weeks ago. But I do have a crapload of bath bombs! Hooray!

India - I use Dr Scholl's gel inserts in every shoe I wear to work. I use the Fair Trade lotion on my feet; I also massage them with the Wiccy Magic Muscles bar (put it in the fridge first).

Brookie I have one of those Wiccy bars, and I was wondering if I should just store it in the fridge. It got a bit melty in the car on the way home and not it doesn't seem very coherent (probably the wrong description).

Thanks for the tip info, Brookie! I'll get a Wiccy too on my next purchase! Actually, I'm home sick from work today ( see the Peeve thread - oy vey!), so maybe later on if I feel like taking a walk, I'll head to the sneaker store on Steinway St.

I bought some awesome shoes today from Naturalizer (kinda LUSH related...). India - they're on sale and they already have Dr Scholl's gel inserts in them. They're black and white and look like mesh ballet slippers. Buy some! They're Naturalizer "sport" line.

Ooooh! I'll check them out, Brookie, thanks! We have a Naturalizer right by my office ( near the job-job, not the Lush job), so I can try to hunt them down. You guys have to dress in all black and white or any combo, too, right? Us too. I found a super cute basic black & white striped tee at NY & Co. It's a bit of a chance, me wearing horizontal stripes, which make me look like a truck. But this actually didn't look too bad, or I wouldn't have gotten it. And I got a great pair of nice cotton comfy straight leg pants from the Gap that were so great, I went back and got a second pair. So once I'm squared away for sneaks or those Naturalizers, I'll be all set for Lush clothes for a bit. Oh, and I didn't tell you the good news! I already got a tiny little promotion of sorts! Next weekend, my manager starts to train me to become his part-time key holder! Yaaay! A little bit more money, which helps, but what's so cool is that he trusts me and feels I'm the right person to do this out of the part-timers on our crew.
